Graham's suggesting flipping the draft around to make it read top down... i.e. move section 4. atom:feed up to be section 2.


I disagree with Graham and think that the draft as it stands is acceptably usable. On the other hand, it might become more so flipped around this way; what do our editors think? -Tim

An ideal spec layout would be:

2.0 atom:feed
An atom:feed element MUST contain one atom:head element and zero or more atom:entry elements

2.1 atom:head An atom:head element MUST contain the following child elements: - Exactly 1 atom:title element - 1 or more atom:link elements - etc

2.2 atom:entry
ditto

3.1 atom:link
        [general atom:link definition, followed by]
        In atom:head, atom:link must blah, whereas in atom:entry blah blah

3.2 atom:title
        ...

3.3 Date Constructs
        [general date construct def]
        3.3.1 atom:updated
        3.3.2 atom:published
etc

There you go. Note I can code a feed generator just by working through the list in 2.1 and 2.2.
